What's On Tonight (Saturday): Coronavirus, a new kind of Love

Love in the Time of Corona

Good day one and all! Tonight, Freeform premieres a show written and filmed during the current pandemic. There's a pandemic going on?! The four-episode series follows four groups of people who are looking for "love, sex and connection" in the era of social distancing. The show, which features Leslie Odom Jr., Nicolette Robinson, and Tommy Dorfmanhas, among others, is noble effort but reviews are pretty meh. The brief season concludes tomorrow night.

Elsewhere, Toonami spends one more Saturday night with the Batman, Decades moves on up, Dallas and Robo go to Mars' moon, Jesse and Sophie continue to uncover the "code," and CNN puts the spotlight on women's suffrage 100 years since the 19th Amendment.
